I know that the writers didn't have to go far to get a script for this movie...however, it was still a lot of fun for we 'Trekkies' from the 60's. It was also good to see Spock talking to Spock-prime...and getting a lesson on "Logic is good...but it doesn't pay the rent."
Ignoring the leftist aspects...a good movie. Filming was great, story good, outcome could have been improved with Earth NOT supporting the mercenary forces attack and firing the manager. Very anti-military/capitalism while using capitalism to make the producer's money. Thus, very hypocritical...
